AI Receptionist for Dentists — FAQs
Answers to common questions UK practices ask before going live.
How fast can we get started?
Most practices are live the same day. Forward your number, pick your greeting and triage rules, and decide where summaries are sent — then you’re ready.
Can we keep our existing number?
Yes. Forward your current landline or mobile to Team‑Connect, or provision a new local number to use on your website and Google Business Profile.
Can the AI handle pricing and treatment FAQs?
Yes. Provide your typical price ranges (e.g., check‑ups, hygiene, whitening) and inclusions, and the AI will answer consistently with your policy.
What about safeguarding and consent?
You control scripts and policies. The AI follows your approved wording and routes sensitive cases directly to a human via live transfer.
Does it integrate with our systems?
Team‑Connect supports email and webhook handoffs and works alongside your calendars and forms. Many practices simply use summaries + a quick confirm step.
Is there a contract?
